ADIA To Seek Red-Tape Cuts From New Ministers

26th Aug 18

Summary —

With the new federal Cabinet having been announced, the Australian Dental Industry Association (ADIA) has set about working with the new Ministers to ensure their focus is on making cuts to red-tape to support manufacturers and suppliers of dental products.

Key Issues For The Dental Industry —

Recently appointed Prime Minister, the Hon. Scott Morrison MP [Pictured], has announced the new Ministry which sees some old faces return and promotions for a number of Ministers vital to the interests of Australia’s dental industry.

ADIA enjoys a strong and cooperative relationship with politicians from all parties, something that’s positioned the Association to secure a number of reforms that support the businesses that manufacture and supply dental products.

As ADIA engages with the new Ministers, the focus will be on negotiating legislative changes that will make it easier for businesses in the dental industry to grow, create jobs, and operate sustainably.

To progress the interests of the dental industry during the course of the coming fortnight ADIA will engage with key Ministers including:

A major focus for ADIA will be to review unnecessary and duplicative legislation as a first step in cutting the red-tape faced by businesses in the dental industry. A high priority is being given to further legislative amendments that will reduce compliance costs incurred by businesses associated with meeting Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulatory requirements.

ADIA is seeking a regulatory framework for dental products that is based on a risk management approach designed to ensure public health and safety, while at the same time freeing industry from any unnecessary regulatory burden.

The dental industry’s senior leadership, and representatives of some small businesses, will meet with a number of the Ministers when ADIA convenes the Dental Industry Meets Parliamentroundtable on 16 October 2018 in parliament house.
